I like Rafflecopter
Giveaway Tools please. I have been having constant problems loading rafflecopter forms. They also make changes to their product without warning, and had a big fiasco over the holidays with impacted both entrants and bloggers. The forms still do not load without several refreshes for me. Giveaway tools is also more streamlined and much easier on us entrants, also you may get more entrants and esposure if you switch your form, as a lot of people I know are refusing to do rafflecopter contests because of all the problems with it. GT loads first time every time, Rafflecopter does not.
I prefer Rafflecopter because it will actually load most of the time for me. With Giveaway Tools, it depends on what computer I’m using whether or not it will even open up for me to use. Thanks.

rafflecopter is fine, but GT is easier to use on a mobile or tablet device.
I like the Gleam Giveaway tool better because it is easier to post Tweets, follow on Twitter and Instagram, etc.
I like to enter on giveaway tools! I think it’s easier and I feel more confident that I’ve done everything on giveaway tools!
I prefer Giveaway Tools because Rafflecopter often does not work correctly. It is much easier to use Giveaway Tools.
I like the rafetocopter
I am fine with both rafflecopter and giveaway tools. I say go with which one is easier for you and you like. The thing with giveaway tools is you can fix an answer after you submit it this comes in handy at times.
I really don’t have a preference. They both are easy to use for me.
The current Rafflecopter forms are HORRIBLE! They always have trouble loading, and they freeze up after a few minutes and won’t allow submission of entries – so you have to keep refreshing the page, over and over! It’s starting to seem not worth it to even attempt to enter! FYI, I have tried switching browsers (used both Safari and Google Chrome), and that does not help the problem. Frankly, I don’t think Giveaway Tools is much better…so I’d pretty much prefer entering some other way.
I am revising my comment, realizing that Giveaway Tools IS much better than the current Rafflecopter forms!
RC has been stable in the new version. Before it could be flakey. GT is nice because it remembers what you put in for answers and also you can change something if you mess up.
I like GT better than RC.
Don’t care for the other ones I’ve seen.
I HATE GLEAM!! so please don’t use that one.
Thanks for the contest.
I like gleam it’s easier than rafflecopter and I really hate giveaway tools. Giveaway tools makes me re authorize every time I enter
I honestly do not care which form we use. I actually like to skip around to different ones. Rafflecopter does not allow me to fix problems and links like before when I accidently put the wrong username or something like that. I am starting to shy away from them some. Gleam is good but the sign in with different sites makes it hard.
I like these raffletools. I prefer the one that allows you to open ALL the possible items so I can quickly review the one’s that are automatically confirmed and I can complete those quickly.
I’d much prefer a straight up entry form
I’m used to rafflecopter, but some of the options on giveaway tools are nice, such as being able to click to visit a site and having the tool recognize that you have clicked.
Rafflecopter is so easy I like it.
I prefer to enter via Giveaway Tools as it is a more User Friendly and allows for faster entry than other options.
I have no preference Rafflecopter and Giveaway Tools are pretty much the same to me, I don’t really see a difference.
